What is the state of blockchain in the investment industry? Learn how it is currently deployed in the back, middle and front office and consider what lies ahead.
Hear how crypto assets are democratizing investments in alternative investments. Learn how investors view the crypto space and what are the major considerations (risk, liquidity, valuation) for such assets. Some observers suggest that the current pandemic may speed up the adoption of digital currency, as it has in China.
Gain insight into the scope and impact of blockchain and crypto transactions as you delve deeper into this fascinating area.
